McMurtrie Farms hosted our May 16 Weddings Unveiled event. Luckily, the rain subsided for a few hours, allowing for a beautiful show in the Meadows. Over 60 attendees met with our featured vendors, explored the beautiful grounds and enjoyed an afternoon of wedding planning fun!.
McMurtrie Farms was decorated in summery fuschia and green apple.
It was another successful Weddings Unveiled event! Don’t miss the next show on June 2 at Waterford House. Get your free tickets with code FREETIX.
Last Friday, I visited Vista West Ranch. Oh my.
Tucked away on a winding Hill Country road, this wedding venue is absolutely perfect. When Cindy and Brian built the space 5 years ago, they thought of everything!
To start with, the ceremony site is gorgeous! A wood arbor covered in Native Texas vines provides the central focus. And, the best part, beautiful lanterns and candle holders hang from the arbor and the nearby trees.
The reception hall has a rustic elegance that is both warm and inviting. The lighting is gorgeous and incredibly unique; your guests will think the lighting was part of your decor! Rows of french doors open to the outside areas, making everything open and very accessible.
While the main areas alone are swoon-worthy, it’s the small spaces that really set this venue apart. A lofted area above the reception hall also has a private balcony where the bride and groom can escape for a quiet moment and view the festivities together. Above this area (and, you seriously don’t even know it’s there) is the changing areas–a groom’s room and a fantastic, shabby chic bridal room complete with a row of vintage mirrors for bridesmaid makeup application.
Outside is a fire pit and rows of little bistro tables where your guests can have a quieter moment to chat with each other and enjoy the beauty of the hill country. Hammocks and adirondack chairs are set out throughout the grounds. There’s also a fantastic biergarten for pre or post ceremony cocktails and mingling.
Hidden on the property is also a honeymoon cottage. Perfect for the bride and groom who want to extend their time at the venue as much as possible (and not have to spend too much time in a car at the end of the night).
As you can tell, I’m quite smitten with this place. The peaceful country vibe made me want to stay and hang out with Cindy for awhile. Maybe lounge in a hammock or sip some lemonade in one of the adirondack chairs….
If my description has you wondering when you can get yourself out to see this amazing venue, I have good news.
First, Vista West Ranch is hosting an open house this Sunday from 3 until 7.
And, we are happy to announce we will be having TWO Weddings Unveiled shows at Vista West Ranch. The first will be on August 22 and the next will be on April 17, 2011 (yes, we’re planning that far ahead!).
Mark your calendars!
